The next morning, Su Luo and his party entered the capital of Dai Kingdom.

The streets are wide, with heavy traffic, shops lining both sides, and the sounds of hawking coming one after another, creating a prosperous scene.

"Wow, it's so lively here!" Situ Jiu lifted the car curtain and looked out the window excitedly.

Su Luo smiled slightly: "Yes, this is the capital of Dai State, so it is naturally lively."

"Sister, look, there's a place selling candied haws!" Situ Jiu said, pointing to a small stall on the roadside.

Su Luo looked in the direction she pointed and saw a vendor holding strings of red candied haws, which looked very tempting.

"Do you want to eat?" Su Luo asked.

Situ Jiu nodded, his eyes full of desire.

Su Luo smiled and said to the guard driving the car, "Stop the car."

The carriage stopped and Su Luo took Situ Jiu out.

"Boss, give me two strings of candied haws." Su Luo said to the vendor.

"Okay!" The vendor handed over two strings of candied haws with a smile.

Su Luo paid the money and handed one of the strings to Situ Jiu.

Situ Jiu took the candied haws and couldn't wait to take a bite. The sour and sweet taste made her squint her eyes.

"Is it delicious?" Su Luo asked.

Situ Jiu nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious! Sister, you can eat it too."

Su Luo smiled and shook his head: "I don't like sweet food, you eat it."

Situ Jiu was not polite and finished the whole string of candied haws in just a few bites.

"Do you still want to eat?" Su Luo asked.

Situ Jiu touched his stomach and shook his head: "No more eating, I'm full."

Su Luo smiled and took her back to the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove into the post station, and Su Luo and his group got off.

"Princess, this is where you will live." The official at the post station said respectfully.

Su Luo nodded and took Situ Jiu into the room.

"Sister, when are we going to see King Dai?" Situ Jiu asked.

Su Luo thought for a moment and said, "No rush, let's wait a little longer. When there's no one left to treat him, it won't be too late for us to go."

"Oh." Situ Jiu nodded.

Su Luo sat at the table, looking at the medical book in his hand, feeling a little annoyed.

The King of Dai was poisoned by Xue Ronghua and could only rely on her to detoxify him. Moreover, the palace was heavily guarded, so it was not easy to approach the King of Dai.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Situ Jiu's voice came.

Su Luo came back to her senses and saw Situ Jiu standing beside her, looking at her with concern.

"Nothing." Su Luo smiled slightly, "You haven't slept yet?"

Situ Jiu shook his head: "I can't sleep."

Su Luo put down the medical book and pulled her to sit beside him.

"Jiuer, are you scared?" Su Luo asked.

Situ Jiu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Su Luo hugged her gently, "I will protect you."

Situ Jiu leaned in Su Luo's arms and said softly, "Sister, I believe you."

Su Luo felt warm in his heart and hugged her tightly.

For the past two days, Su Luo has been staying at the post station without going out. She is studying medical books while waiting for news from the palace.

"Princess, there is news." Xiao Minghan hurried in.

Su Luo quickly asked: "What news?"

Xiao Minghan said, "The King of Dai's condition has worsened and he is bedridden. The palace is searching for a famous doctor."

Su Luo's eyes lit up: "The time has come."

She stood up and said to Situ Jiu, "Jiu'er, stay at the post station and don't run around. I'm going out for a while."

Situ Jiu nodded: "Okay, sister, be careful."

Su Luo smiled slightly, turned and walked out of the room.

Su Luo changed into a nightgown and quietly came to the outside of the Dai Kingdom Palace with Xing Hen.

The palace was brightly lit under the cover of night, heavily guarded, and on high alert.

"Princess, how do we get in?" Xinghen asked in a low voice.

Su Luo observed the surrounding terrain, pointed to a hidden corner and said, "Go in from there."

The two of them disappeared into the night in a flash.

Su Luo and Xing Hen were like two agile night cats, silently landing on the roof of King Dai's bedroom.

Xinghen lifted a tile and looked down.

There were bright lights and a crowd of people below, including imperial doctors, guards, and palace maids, surrounding the bed of the King of Dai.

"Princess, there are too many people. We can't get in at all." Xing Hen lowered his voice and frowned.

He was worried that breaking in by force would alert the enemy and make things worse.

Su Luo looked around, his eyes fell on the beams of the house, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

She took out a piece of incense as thick as a thumb from her bosom. The incense was light purple in color and emitted a faint fragrance.

"This is..." Xinghen looked at Su Luo in confusion.

"Incense." Su Luo said calmly, with a hint of confidence in his voice, "Hold your breath and concentrate, don't inhale it."

Xing Hen immediately held his breath and used his internal energy to protect his body.

Su Luo slowly injected his true energy into the incense, and the originally faint fragrance suddenly became stronger.

She waved her hand lightly, and an invisible internal force wrapped in fragrance floated towards the crowd below like a veil.

The incense is colorless and odorless, but it can invisibly bewitch the mind and make people fall into a deep sleep.

This incense was specially made by Su Luo. It has a very strong effect and even people with great martial arts skills find it difficult to resist.

As time passed, the noisy sounds in the bedroom gradually died down.

The imperial doctors all looked tired, rubbing their swollen temples, as if trying to force themselves to stay awake.

The guards' originally upright postures began to sway, and the spears in their hands became heavy.

The palace maids were staggering all over the place, and the trays and basins in their hands fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

Finally, one after another, people collapsed to the ground with a dull sound.

The originally crowded bedroom suddenly became empty, leaving only heavy breathing and snoring.

"Almost." Su Luo said softly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

She took out an exquisite sachet from her bosom and handed it to Xinghen.

"Holding this can block out the fragrance and prevent you from being knocked out."

Xing Hen took the sachet and hung it around his waist. A faint medicinal fragrance filled his nose, which lifted his spirits.

Su Luo was the first to jump off the roof and landed lightly in the bedroom without making any sound.

Xinghen followed closely behind and landed steadily beside Su Luo.

The two men walked through the crowd lying on the ground and came straight to the bed of King Dai.

The King of Dai was pale, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was weak. It was obvious that he had fallen into a coma.

Su Luo took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into King Dai's mouth.

This pill is the antidote to the aphrodisiac incense and can quickly eliminate its effects.
